My 9 year old daughter

01dabull89

I literally don't feel I can cope anymore.

My 9 year old daughter is out of control.

She goes out of her way on a daily basis to make everyone miserable and absolutely WILL NOT STOP until she achieves this goal. 

She will shout, scream, be cruel to the cat, accuse you of hurting her, be violent, break things and then smile and laugh when your left in tears. 

I don't know what to do anymore?

I've been to the "understanding autism groups" tried every strategy known to man and nothing works. 

I am at the stage now that I no longer believe I can parent my child. I am miserable 24/7 and have had enough. 

I'm open to suggestions but unless it's "put a bullet through my skull" it probably won't be relevant. SobSob

  • Maybe your child is PDA, pathological demand avoidant?

    I have 2 children who both have diagnosis of ASD but my eldest is the PDA’r he is always ADHD.

    Your daughter sounds a lot like my eldest son. It’s incredibly difficult to raise a child with PDA. 

    You feel helpless and pushed to your limit everyday. 

    Do you reduce all demands put upon her? Do you have specialist support involved or social work? 

    Sorry your going through such difficult times. X
